You can enter the majority of the enclosures, with just a few exceptions.

Little Chef’s favourite enclosure was full of kids (the baby goat kind!). They’re so cheeky and inquisitive – a bit like my son!

The free tractor rides around the farm are a big hit with the kids. The tractor tows a long “train” and the kids can ride as many times as they like.

It takes you on a journey around the farm and adults are welcome to ride too.

There’s a covered play area with a bouncy castle. I found it difficult to drag my son of this – he was having so much fun!

There is a fenced play area, with play equipment featuring a couple of slides, swings and more.

And a BIG red tractor!

We were at the Swan Valley Cuddly Animal Farm for a few hours and there were a few free bottle feeding sessions held during this time for the lambs and kids (baby goats!).

The staff are really good at making sure everyone gets a turn.

There’s free tea/coffee for the grown-ups. There’s no café at Swan Valley Cuddly Animal Farm, though picnics are welcome and they also have BBQs to use, free of charge. On the day that we visited, there was a small caravan selling coffee, ice cream, hot dogs and more.

There are plenty of shaded picnic tables dotted around the farm. You’ll even find picnic tables in a couple of the fields with the animals in.

Pony rides are available on weekends and school holidays at an extra charge of $5 per child.

There’s a merry go round and each child gets a free ride.

We were there with a large group, which had use of the enclosed pavilion. Perfect for a birthday party get together or other large gatherings. Hire of this area also includes tables, chairs, food and gift tables, a microwave oven, small grill oven and a small fridge.

The Swan Valley Cuddly Animal Farm is lots of fun and it’s a great value day out (under 2yrs go free). Children and adults alike will love meeting all the beautiful animals!
